Trans fill tube install

Just got my FLT Lvl 4 trans bolted up and having a hell of a time getting the fill tube back in. Is there a trick to it?

Seems to be I just can't get the right angle.

Do you have the bolt loose where it mounts to the block to give ya some play?

Others have had equal "fun" (not!) with it. Here is the same problem last month:

Ahhh, I read it wrong. Thought he was struggling to guide the dipstick into the trans

Thanks for the replies.

Best way to do it is get it started into the grommet right before you slide the trans onto the guide dowels. If you've already bolted the trans up, use a wrench to push the tube up past the grommet.
